post fast journal day 3.
blood ketone level 3.9. last week 4.8. not concerned as the difference is eating some carbs versus 0 now. stomach is generally better than while on the fast, thank god:) i had a good workout during work yesterday which helped propel the weight loss in spite of adding food and carbs. which just encourages me to try to get a longer walk on my days off. I enjoy walking, when I have the energy. I have not had energy during the fast or so far post fast. Until I start getting my calories up more, I don't much on that front. I will jump my calories up on Saturday from 300 or less per day to 1200. so why am I only at 300? i really felt that soup and keto smoothies were the path for me on early re-feed. The lowest carb veg soup I could acquire was not keto though so the carbs were higher than I liked. In the end I want to be max 10-15 carbs per day after all this. otherwise, my focus at the moment is how I eat food. i grew up in a small family and table was minimal. we ate our food quickly and cleaned up so we could get to whatever we would do in the evening. yardwork, homework etc. i can't remember how often my mom would say hurry up, how often my dad would say eat everything on your plate. then that bad habit of rushing to eat carried over into work, especially as once i started my desk job career, i ate at the desk a lot. either not paying attention to my eating. or rushing because i felt guilty, eating at work! i most recently realized how f'd up my eating was when i realized the incongruity between craving a meal so bad..then eating it so fast! so, my goal is to slow down and savour the flavour and texture of my food. its really a different experience for me to take my time eating.
